A. The approximate height of the building is 100 m

B. We can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

A.

The approximate height of the building is 100 m

To find the approximate height of the building, we consider the diagram.

From the diagram, we have that using trigonometry,

tanA = BC/AB

Now

  • A = 0.05 radians,
  • BC = height of building and
  • AB = 2 km = 2000 m
<h3 /><h3>Finding the value of BC</h3>

So, making BC subject of the formua, we have

BC = ABtanA

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

BC = ABtanA

BC =2000tan0.05

BC = 2000 × 0.05

BC = 100 m

So, the approximate height of the building is 100 m

B.

We can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

<h3 /><h3>Arc Length Formula</h3>

We know that the arc length formula L = rФ where

  • r = radius and
  • Ф = angle in radians
<h3 /><h3>The approximate height</h3>

Now BC = ABtanA

We know that Ф ≅ tanФ when Ф is small.

<h3 /><h3>The comparison</h3>

So, BC = AB × A which is the arc length formula with

  • L = BC,
  • r = AB and
  • Ф = A

So, we can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

A circle has a circumference of 28.26cm. what is the area of the circle? show work please
earnstyle [38]
-circumference is equal to pi×diameter, area is equal to pi×radius^2
-28.26÷3.14=9, 9÷2=4.5, 4.5×4.5=20.25, and 20.25×3.14=63.585
-rounded to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 63.59

svp [43]

Answer:

the  number of miles that you would drive to go the yellowstone is 814 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of miles that you would drive to go the yellowstone is shown below:

= First leg of the journey from portland + more drives to yellow stone

= 426 miles + 388 miles

= 814 miles

Hence, the  number of miles that you would drive to go the yellowstone is 814 miles
